Implant Rehabilitation Partial Maxillary Edentulism with Onlay Autogenous Chin Bone Grafting and Prosthetic Gingival Restoration: A Case Report.

CONCLUSION: The use of autogenous grafts obtained from the chin in combination with xenograft and then covered with an absorbable collagen membrane represents a predictable procedure for the rehabilitation of the long-term partial maxillary edentulism. Prosthetic gingival restoration is an alternative technique to overcome the limitations of hard- and soft-tissue grafting. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The treatment of a patient with high and width alveolar bone loss needs a multidisciplinary approach. Autogenous grafts obtained from the chin in combination with xenograft and then covered with an absorbable collagen membrane represent an effective procedure. Also, prosthetic gingival restoration can be used as an alternative technique to overcome the limitations of hard- and soft-tissue grafting. PMID: 31597808 [PubMed - in process]
